While sitting on the couch to do a little light reading, Matt and I heard some growling in the backyard. Now our dogs are not strangers to barking, but this was not the typical barking. Matt ran outside to check on the situation. I ran to the front door to see if something was tormenting our lovely, angelic, dogs. Next thing I know Matt is running back inside screaming that he needs a gun. Now I know that our dogs are not always well behaved, but I was slightly concerned that Matt had just had enough.
Panic stricken, I dash outside behind Matt. He’s in the middle of a dog on groundhog fight and the neighbor behind us is screaming. We manage to pull the dog fighting ring apart long enough for Matt to shoot the groundhog in the head. After the fatal blow, Jenny is still not convinced and pounces on the corpse just to make sure. Allie is traumatized by the shot, but left to her devices, she would have killed it with her blind-dog fighting skills.
This beauty weighs in at 16 lbs. Average size is 4-9 lbs. The only conclusion I can come to is that Matt needs to go back to KS and hunt. He’s getting desperate here in town.
